And the Summer Fun Continues

So, I think I mentioned earlier that we have a summer bucket list that me and the kids at home are trying to work through this summer. First, they all do their chores. Once that is done, we can try to do one of the things on the list. So, here's a few photos from our various adventures.

Tautphas Zoo is always fun. It just happened to be raining on the day we went, but we were all armed with umbrellas so we had fun anyway.




Another day, we checked out the Pirates! exhibit at the Museum.

This week we tried out Blast Off! Overpriced, but fun for the little kids. Phoebe was a little too old for some of the stuff, so she was disappointed she couldn't play in the ball pit. The climbing wall was a hit with everyone, though.










And, last but not least, the Rexburg Carousel and Splash Park. My sister watched the kids for a few hours while I got my hair done, then we headed to the park. She stopped by with a couple of her kids--most of them were busy doing other things--then Austin and Leah stopped by and said hi. We stopped just in time for the Tornado Warning, and were heading out of Rexburg with Kari Ann's gelati's, watching out the window for funnel clouds.

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

Kory's Story

I just wanted to record this for our family history. When Kory and I were engaged, we went to Salt Lake to talk with someone at CES to see about re-applying to teach seminary. At the time, they indicated that he could re-apply, but they didn't seem positive about the likelihood of him getting re-hired. At that time, we decided not to pursue teaching again. Later that year, CES announced that there was no longer any block on people who had been divorced teaching seminary. Again, we talked with some people, but still felt that the chances of him getting hired were not good, because he would not be able to move if necessary, which is usually the case with new hires.  In Fall of 2015, Kory had a strong impression to check with the pre-service director and see what he would need to do to try teaching again. We still knew that the chances were not great, but he felt that he should pursue it. He began attending the class for pre-service seminary teachers, and was assigned to student te...

April 2023

  April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that.  On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit.  On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with m...
